Hiwa – Adopted!

Hiwa was adopted August 24, 2020!

Aloha! Meet Hiwa! “Hiwa” is Hawaiian for precious, beloved, esteemed and jet black – and this black panther sweetheart definitely lives up to her name. Although she can be a little shy at first, once she gets to know you she’s the sweetest girl who loves to be pet, loves to cuddle and will definitely sing you the song of her people when she wants your attention. At the time of her rescue from Devore Shelter in May of 2020, she was estimated to be around a year old, so she developed into a lovely young lady but still has plenty of playful kitten energy abounding and a long life ahead of her.

Hiwa is a loving soul who loves people and does get along well with other kitties. We’re not sure how well she’d do with younger children as she’s wary of sudden movements and rambunctious energy in the home.

Her preference is a calm and serene environment – just like her nature. She has not experienced interactions with dogs so she’d probably be happiest in a home with older children, adults and cats only. Although she doesn’t like being picked up or carried around, she does relish snuggling up with you in your bed and keeping you company at night and in the early morning hours.

She also enjoys being brushed if you’re so inclined. She’s got a healthy appetite and really enjoys treats – especially purees!

A ‘o ia! That’s Hiwa in a coconut shell! If you’d love to make her an ohana of your family, fill out an adoption application for this sweet little wahine today!

What’s Included In Our $175.00 Adoption Fee?

Kitty Devore Rescue is committed to rescuing responsibly. 

This commitment means we hold ourselves to a high standard of care when it comes to the kitties in our foster care program. It also means each Kitty Devore Rescue kitty has undergone a comprehensive vetting and post-shelter rehabilitation process before we consider them ready for adoption.

Some rescue groups and shelters offer kitties for adoption for a fee less than ours – but their fee may include fewer vetting procedures that we consider necessary to ensure a kitty’s optimal health. Some offer kitties for adoption who have had no vetting procedures at all.

If you were to adopt a kitty for less or one “free to a good home” and, as a responsible pet parent, opted to have all the vital and necessary health procedures done that every cat in Kitty Devore Rescue care receives, this is what that “free” kitty is likely to cost you:

Spay/Neuter – $60.00 to $150.00

FeLV and FIV Testing – $40.00 to $80.00

FVRCP Vaccine(s) – $10.00 to $25.00 per vaccine (kittens need a series of 3 for optimal immunization)

Rabies Vaccine – $10.00 to $25.00

Microchip – $25.00 to $50.00

Flea/Earmite Treatment – $15.00 to $30.00 per monthly dose

Deworming – $15.00 to 25.00

Exam fee each vet visit – $30.00 to $75.00

Total: $195.00 to $455.00

•

These are just the basics.

Most veterinarians charge somewhere within these price ranges for these basic procedures.

Kitty Devore Rescue kitties undergo basics and, in some cases, even more! Kitties in Kitty Devore Rescue foster care who are in need of dental, medical or surgical intervention receive immediate and quality veterinary attention and treatment. We address all observable and discoverable health issues – both internal and external. If there is an issue, we address it – even if that issue costs us thousands to treat and correct.

Once adopted, we provide all our adopters with full veterinary records and history of their newly adopted KD kitty, information about the microchip transfer* and an adoption box containing toys and treats for their new feline family member by USPS mail within 3 weeks of the official adoption date.

Additionally, the adoption fee is refundable in full if things don’t work out within the first 30 days. Even after 30 days, if for any reason you need to return your adopted KD kitty, we will always welcome them back into Kitty Devore Rescue foster care. We will always be their safety net for the duration of their lifetime.

And yet, our adoption fee is still $175.00 for every cat and kitten. Or $325.00 for two!

So, if you’re looking to adopt a new feline family member and friend, what are you waiting for? Apply to adopt a KD Kitty today!

* Microchips are transferred from KD’s microchip registry to the adopter 30 days from the official adoption date
